Plan wasnt to pound his chest. There's some serious money guys in his group. They trash between rounds.
Then there's others like Brad. Just have'n fun race'n and hang'n with bud's. Their a pretty tight group.
Hit most of the Midwest Nostalgia SS events, run all day long, not get dirty, relax at nite, repeat next day.
Get home, leave car in trailer, wait for next event.
How much better can it get?!

That pretty much nailed it, except mine are old wideports and it's a Hogan designed to look like a bathtub. I'm guessing I've picked up quite a bit over the old motor. The car's gonna run pretty good and get me down the track more than fast enough to hang with our group. Mission accomplished. If I want to get serious down the road, I'll throw some Holleys on it and more compression.
The original design intent of this was to make a conservative 875. Getting into the motor, there were many issues(Larry ran it hard for years) and just about everything got touched to some degree. Yeah, the sum of the parts are more oriented toward a higher end goal but I was able to pick up a lot of these parts reasonable from fellow racers and it could be considered over engineered for the build. As Mike mentioned above, I'm more into having fun than making a huge number. It's in the car and I'm working to get a few other things wrapped up on it. We'll see how it goes down the track.
